MPP: An MPI CPP Interface


What's MPP
==========

MPP is an advanced C++ interface for MPI. It is a lightweight interface
(header-only) which focuses on reducing the interface overhead. It supports
integration of user datatypes. 

MPP was developed as a proof-of-concept to show that an high level MPI interface
can be designed without renouncing to performance (which is key in High
Performance Computing). Experiments have shown that MPP has much lower overhead
than Boost.MPI (see paper below). 

MPP supports few MPI routines for now (point-to-point), but I am slowly
extending its functionalities. If you want to help, either with some coding or
ideas, you are welcome.
